So layers are absolute now. They can raise lower within their layer but cannot affect other windows. To get the functionality you're after, either just use the fvwmauto module and revise when you explicitly use staysontop, or use fvwmauto and on menter, check the window is FvwmPager and use the layer command to toggle as appropriate. > Is there anything like that in fvwm-2 to temporarily relinquish the > "StaysOnTop" attribute? > -- > cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
